Identity Relationship Management for Internet of Things: A Case Study
Mohammad Nur, Yong Wang · 2022
This paper presents an Identity Relationship Man-agement framework for Internet of Things (IoT), The framework overcomes the limitations observed in traditional IAM systems with IoT by providing a perimeter-less, Internet scale, modular, dynamic and high velocity access control solution based on relationships among users, organizations and devices. To demonstrate how the framework can be used for access management in the IoT, a use case in healthcare is presented. Moreover, we implement the proposed framework by adapting User Managed Access 2.0 protocol and demonstrate the benefit of integration of IRM with existing IAM technologies. IRM is promising for identity and access management for the IoT. However, a use case of IRM is missing in the literature and this paper presents the use case where relationships are essential for identity and access management in the IoT.
